Nature Based Solutions in Supporting Sustainable Development Goals: Theory and Practice

Nature Based Solutions in Supporting Sustainable Development Goals: Theory and Practice catalogs evidence based on the social, economic, and environmental effectiveness of Nature based Solutions (NbS) to face environmental challenges and simultaneously provide a better understanding of associated social-ecological interactions. NbS are reframing discussion and policy responses worldwide to environmental challenges. The concept builds on and complements other closely related concepts, such as the ecosystem approach, ecosystem services, ecosystem-based adaptation/mitigation, disaster risk reduction, sponge cities, and green/blue infrastructures.The quantification of existing NbS' effectiveness, their operationalization and replication in different environmental settings are presented here in such a way that allows them to be both widely accepted and incorporated in policy development and in practical implementation. Explores the nexus between Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and global SDG, thus leading future research and practice worldwidePresents novel conceptualizations, pathways, applications, evidence-based cases, and experiential assessmentsOffers best practice portfolios for practitioners (city managers, policymakers, civil servants, environmental engineers) to guide the practices of NbS towards SDG INDICE: Nature Based Solutions in Supporting Sustainable Development GoalsIntroduction1.
